As far as I've seen, this isn't possible (with CSS alone). The most 
common way to achieve something similar is by using different background 
colors, which I believe is done like this...

    Now, I found a minor issue with the "typical approach" where IE (6 & 
7) fails the padding/negative-margin  match by 1px. Also, I added a try 
I was playing with, that it's way too much (or simply jargon) for the 
IE's and it, once again, bring me with the issue Fx has when dealing 
with the ::before & ::after pseudo-elements. If anyone has time, please 
check it and let me know your thoughts on this --Oh, and sorry for the 
low contrast :p

    By the way, this isn't really a new fad, this effect and others 
(like the one above) are really useful for reading code and even some 
medium/large "numbered" texts, and had been around for some time now.
